Garmin Oregon 600 Handheld

Description

Outdoor enthusiasts know that when you head out on any unfamiliar trail, navigation accessories can help keep you safe. Knowing your exact location when you are miles from any road or city will keep you connected and heading in the right direction. Handheld GPS devices like this Garmin Oregon 600 can help guide you during all of your outdoor activities. You can trust the calibration and satellite positioning capabilities of the Garmin Oregon 600 GPS receiver, as these features can guide you safely on your routes. You can mark projected waypoints and maps throughout your hike to keep track of your completed route. You will be able to find your starting point, campsite, and other key waypoint locations. Program your route into the Garmin Oregon 600T series GPS receiver and then send it to your contacts with the touch of a button. The three-axis electronic compass tells you where you are at all times. You can obtain a fix from either GPS or GLONASS satellites as you are out in the wild. The transflective and glove-friendly touchscreen lets you see where you're going even on the brightest day. It runs on standard AA batteries with an average battery life of 16 hours. Alternatively, you can add a rechargeable NiMH battery pack if you don’t want to use AAs. This Garmin’s great battery life allows you to relax in knowing you’ll always have access to a map when you’re exploring. Weighing less than half a pound with batteries installed, the Garmin Oregon 600 doesn't add much to your hiking load. Also, it features a compact 3-inch display screen, so it can be stored easily in your pocket or gear bag. For even more convenience, you can purchase accessories such as mounts. In addition to being pre-programmed with a compass, this GPS device offers several other features. It includes a barometer, an altimeter, a geocaching mode, and a hunting and fishing calendar. It also provides photo navigation and information regarding the sun and lunar cycles. With additional features such as the barometer and altimeter, you can check the barometric pressure and other weather conditions. You can also find your current elevation from sea level. These Oregon GPS units will provide exact longitude and latitude coordinates. They also support BaseCamp software to give you access to any topographic or road maps you would like to add to your queue. The geocaching feature of this Garmin Oregon GPS unit is perfect for those who enjoy hunting for geocaches. This device will not only project where the geocache is, but it will also record the cache details and when you found it. The Garmin Oregon 600 is perfect for spending countless hours finding caches in cities and along backcountry trails. It can also help you hide them yourself.
